I am still waiting for a Conq shoulder token to drop, but I noticed something. There really arent any good 372 tanking shoulders until you are killing Nef or Chogall on heroic. I picked up the 372 Pauldrons of the Great Ettin off H-Halfus for DPS but I notice that they have mastery on them.

I am guessing stick with what I have, but the extra stam/str could be worth the trade off for losing a little CTC?

Pauldrons of the Great Ettin will net you about 60sta, while your current shoulders instead would give you about 0.2%avoidance and 0.1%blockSo if your not going for 4set, those are your 2 best options.

The tied ranking means they came out to be pretty much equivalent, though the Ettin first means they had an ever-so-slight advantage. I likely would have taken a maelstrom crystal over the Ettin if I had the option (and already had normal Heaving Plates), because I can adjust CTC versus stamina much more easily with a few gem swaps or an extra trinket instead of carrying two sets of shoulders.

I was about to suggest that you reforge crit to hit, add a hit gem and enchant, and make them part of your Rebuke gimmick set, but there is no shoulder enchant for hit. Nor is there a shoulder enchant for expertise for a roflstomp gimmick threat set. It's not that easy to make them into a usable threat piece.

/shrug. Pick the pair with the prettier graphic and vendor the other ones.

That's a tough one, and I'd have to agree that added combat table coverage might be the difference - if you can get block cap with them, then you might be better off using them. I would be wary, however, because the 4set can be quite handy and the t11 shoulders are useful in that regard.
